War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 431: My Intention is to Feel Sorry for You

Chapter 431: Chapter 431: My Intention is to Feel Sorry for You

Tang Yuxiu suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

But what has Young Master Tang ever been afraid of? If Gu Yan wanted to come back and settle scores with him, it was still uncertain who would end up "dealing" with whom.

Thinking of this, Young Master Tang snickered mischievously to himself, but maintained a serious look on his face.

Around them, he heard the voices of some girls, "That handsome guy standing among a bunch of vegetables is just as attractive, like he’s standing on a prairie."

Tang Yuxiu didn’t even know what they were talking about; he simply chose not to hear such comments.

But as for Gu Yan, she was like, "..."

She quietly glanced at the vegetables she had picked, then at the pile of greens and cabbage, feeling the urge to rant: What kind of eyesight do these people have?

How could anyone imagine vegetables as a vast prairie?

Students really do have vivid imaginations.

She just naturally doesn’t have that artistic gene.

Gu Yan sighed silently, casting a purposely dissatisfied glance at him, "So embarrassing."

Tang Yuxiu felt he was quite innocent this time. He was just quietly standing there, and others’ imaginations had nothing to do with him.

He knew Gu Yan was still angry right now, so he decided to say nothing and just go along with her.

To get back at Young Master Tang, Gu Yan specifically bought vegetables he didn’t like, secretly watching for any reaction on Tang Yuxiu’s face—but there was none.

Tang Yuxiu only had to glance to know what was on her mind, thinking she could get back at him by cooking dishes he disliked?

Humph, she underestimated him. Over the years, he had long since stopped being picky; he would eat whatever she cooked, clean to the plate.

Gu Yan was inwardly puzzled, looked at the items in the shopping cart, and still took out the things she herself didn’t also like.

Tang Yuxiu glanced over, thinking to himself, she still hasn’t changed, still doesn’t like cabbage and mushrooms.

Passing by the live fish area, Gu Yan stared for a while and asked Tang Yuxiu, "Shall we get a fish?"

"It’s up to you. If you like it, buy it."

Tang Yuxiu was indifferent, but Gu Yan hesitated for a long time and eventually shook her head, "Forget it, I don’t really like fish, and with all the bones, it’s too troublesome to eat. Let’s get some ribs instead."

"Sure."

Anyway, I’ll eat whatever you eat, I’ll go along with you.

Tang Yuxiu silently added in his heart.

With the open and covert stares of onlookers, they finally finished their shopping and left.

Once they exited the supermarket, Gu Yan felt much more relaxed.

Previously, when they went grocery shopping, he was the one feeling pressured, the one being awkward. Now it was her turn.

Him accompanying her so openly to buy groceries brought many people’s eyes upon him, making the shopping experience quite uncomfortable.

As they walked to the car, Gu Yan said, "Next time, don’t come grocery shopping with me. You’re too much of a scene-stealer. It makes me feel pressured."

It’s puzzling. Are girls this bold nowadays?

Knowing she’s standing right next to him, and those hungry eyes are still glued to him. Do they think she’s invisible?

Tang Yuxiu cast a sidelong glance at her, "Are you saying no one was checking you out?"

Don’t think he didn’t notice, those young guys were secretly eyeing her.

If not for his better restraint now, one glance from him would have made them self-destruct.

Gu Yan widened her eyes, innocently looking at him, "Really? Why didn’t I see it? Where are they?"

As she spoke, Gu Yan pretended to look around in search of someone, leaving Tang Yuxiu amused and exasperated. He freed a hand to lock her head into a gentle embrace against him.

"Baby, are you testing my patience?"

"Who’s your baby! Didn’t I tell you not to call me that?" Gu Yan pushed him away, rubbing the neck he’d just grabbed, and huffed at him, "How can you call me baby with one breath and be so rough with me at the same time."

"Did it hurt? I didn’t use any force." Tang Yuxiu reached to check, but Gu Yan dodged him.

"It didn’t hurt, but your rough behavior and this are two separate things."

Tang Yuxiu chuckled softly, wrapping an arm around her shoulders, "Alright, alright, it was my fault. Can we leave it at that?"

"That’s better." Gu Yan’s face broke into a smile, "Oh, Young Master Tang, it feels great to have you admit your mistakes on your own."

Feeling overjoyed!

It was as if all the grievances and dissatisfaction he’d repressed before were released all at once.

Gu Yan sinisterly thought, Young Master Tang, you have your day too. You’ve finally tripped up on me.

Tang Yuxiu placed the bags into the trunk, and asked lightly, "You’re feeling pleased?"

"Not just pleased, absolutely elated! Young Master Tang, keep it up," Gu Yan cheekily patted his chest, raised an eyebrow at him, then opened the passenger side door to hop in.

Tang Yuxiu climbed in from the other side, turned his head and gave her a meaningful look, suddenly leaning in.

Gu Yan instinctively leaned back, and Tang Yuxiu stopped ten centimeters away, smiled wryly, "Since you’re so pleased, I’ll make you even happier when we get back."

His smile seemed to have hidden intentions as he retreated and started the car.

Gu Yan was still contemplating what he meant, thinking hard for a while before suddenly it dawned on her. Her eyes widened as she slapped his thigh, "Tang Yuxiu, you pervert!"

Tang Yuxiu glanced at her hand, freed one hand to hold it, "Didn’t it hurt when you slapped me?"

"I don’t care if it hurt you, you pervert."

"I was asking if your hand hurt." Her hand, already so delicate and fair, now flushed red from the force of slapping his thigh, made a crisp sound. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Gu Yan blinked a little taken aback, then with a pitiful face, nodded, "It hurts, really hurts. Look at how red it’s gotten."

Tang Yuxiu also felt a pang of hurt in his heart, glanced at her, "You deserve it for hitting so hard."

Gu Yan thought he would show more concern and comfort her, but instead, he hit her with such a line. Her anger flared up instantly, yanking her hand back, she said sarcastically, "Of course, I deserved it. Is that your concern? A burly man with tough skin, unlike a delicate woman like me who gets red with a slap, just mock me all you want."

Tang Yuxiu slowed down the car because they were driving, and Gu Yan once had a car accident, which made him cautious. He turned to glance at her, "Yanyan, are you really mad?"

"Humph," Gu Yan folded her arms, cranked open the window, gazing out as the wind tousled her bangs.

She didn’t care, just wanting to stay cross with him.

Tang Yuxiu smiled helplessly, saying, "I was just joking. I truly meant to show concern. You know I’m not very good at expressing myself."
